Inside the carriage, Velin sat opposite Viscount Clever, with Kyle seated on the right, while Clever's wife sat on the left, pouring tea for the three of them.
"Lord Velin, it has been more than a decade since our last parting." Clever accepted the teacup from his wife, passed it to Velin, and spoke.
Velin took the teacup, nodded in thanks, then took a small sip and said, "Viscount Clever, thinking back to last time, we met during the expeditionary war. Without realizing it, so much time has already passed."
"Thanks to your help last time, otherwise I might have died in the expeditionary war, and even if I had survived by luck, I certainly would have lost all my power," Clever expressed his gratitude.
Hearing this, Velin smiled and said, "You gave me a reward at the time as well; we benefited each other."
For Clever, a person favored by destiny, he might have faced a life-or-death crisis under the targeting of that Count Joshua, but he would surely gain huge benefits afterward.
Clever met Velin's kind gaze, carefully pondering the sentence he had just spoken, and easily guessed the purpose of this trip.
Coming for some kind of item, I just don't know what he has his eyes on.
Two hours later, the carriage arrived at the castle.
Stepping out of the carriage, looking at the castle built on the cliff, its architectural design was quite unique.
"Lord Velin, please come in."
Clever came to Velin's left, made an inviting gesture, and said with a smile.
"Then I will intrude."
After saying that, Velin followed behind Clever into the castle.
Passing through the city gate, what came into view was a long corridor with high walls built on both sides, differing from the design of a traditional castle.
